Proverbs 17:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ Foolish people should not be proud.
    And rulers should not be liars!

⁸ A person might think he can pay people and they will do anything he asks.
    He thinks it will succeed every time.

⁹ Whoever forgives someone’s sin makes a friend.
    But the one who tells about the sin breaks up friendships.
